Book Description
PEOJECTIVE GEOMETRY BY OSWALD VEBLEN PROFESSOR OP MATHEMATICS, PRINCETON UNIVERSITY AND JOHN WESLEY YOUNG PROFESSOR OF MATHEMATICS, UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS VOLUME I GINN AND COMPANY BOSTON NEW YORK CHICAGO LONDON PREFACE Geometry, which had been for centuries the most perfect example of a deductive science, during the creative period of the nineteenth century outgrew its old logical forms. The most recent period has however brought a clearer understanding of the logical foundations of mathematics and thus has made it possible for the exposition of geometry to resume the purely deductive form. But the treatment in the books which have hitherto appeared makes the work of lay ing the foundations seem so formidable as either to require for itself a separate treatise, or to be passed over without attention to more than the outlines. This is partly due to the fact that in giving the complete foundation for ordinary real or complex geometry, it is necessary to make a study of linear order and continuity, a study which is not only extremely delicate, but whose methods are those of the theory of functions of a real variable rather than of elemen tary geometry. The present work, which is to consist of two volumes and is in tended to be available as a text in courses offered in American uni versities to upper-class and graduate students, seeks to avoid this difficulty by deferring the study of order and continuity to the sec ond volume. The more elementary part of the subject rests on a very simple set of assumptions which characterize what may be called general protective geometry. It will be found that the theorems selected on this basis of logical simplicity are also elemen tary in the sense of being easily comprehended and often used. Even the limited space devoted in this volume to the foundations may seem a drawback from the pedagogical point of view of some mathematicians. To this we can only reply that, in our opinion, an adequate knowledge of geometry cannot be obtained without attention to the foundations. We believe, moreover, that the abstract treatment is peculiarly desirable in protective geometry, because it is through the latter that the other geometric disciplines are most readily coordinated. Since it is more natural to derive iii iv PllEFAOE the geometrical disciplines associated with the names of Euclid, Descartes, Lobatchewsky, etc., from protective geometry than it is to derive projective geometry from one of them, it is natural to take the foundations of projective geometry as the foundations of all geometry. The deferring of linear order and continuity to the second vol ume has necessitated the deferring of the discussion of the metric geometries characterized by certain subgroups of the general pro jective group. Such elementary applications as the metric proper ties of conies will therefore be found in the second volume. This will be a disadvantage if the present volume is to be used for a short course in which it is desired to include metric applications. But the arrangement of the material will make it possible, when the second volume is ready, to pass directly from Chapter VIII of the first volume to the study of order relations which may them selves be passed over without detailed discussion, if this is thought desirable, and thence to the development of Euclidean metric geometry. We think that much is to be gained pedagogioally as well as scientifically by maintaining the sharp distinction between the projective and the metric. 1 The introduction of analytic methods on a purely synthetic basis in Chapter VI brings clearly to light the generality of the set of assumptions used in this volume. What we call general projective geometry is, analytically, the geometry associated with a general number field. All the theorems of this volume are valid, not alone in the ordinary real and the ordinary complex projective spaces, but also in the ordinary rational space and in the finite spaces... ...

Editorial Review

Book Description
Written in the wake of the advent of Relativity by an author who made important contributions to projective and differential geometry, and topology, this early Cambridge Tract in Mathematics and Theoretical Physics aimed to assist students of the time from the fields of differential geometry and mathematical physics. Beginning by introducing formal preliminaries, the text continues, bringing the underlying differential invariant theory that to this day remains relevant in a range of geometrical and physical applications, to the fore. ...

1-0 out of 5 stars Why on earth would someone ever do this?!lmao
Here's the start of the preface by Veblen:

"When I was asked to write this tract I was given the privilege of making any possible use of the tract by my old friend J.E. Wright, which was published under the same title about twenty years ago.In these twenty years, however, so much has happened to change our view of the subject that I am sure Wright would have written an entirely new tract if he had lived--and that is what I have done."

Well at least Veblen is honest.lol. ... Read more
